Mark D. Mcmillen, Jr.

Born in an era in which good and thought-provoking literature is seldom found, Mark has begun to attempt to create a fresh look at writing style. Armed with the boundary-breaking forms of Joyce, Miller, Kerouac, and other writers, he is creating an interesting and raw hybrid, to be demonstrated in all its controversial glory in his current novel. Though young, Mark feels that his work can still have an interesting impact on the literary world with enough patience.
Mark was born in Sacramento, California, and has lived almost all of his life in the small town of Galt, and his writing often uses Galt as the kind of dreary place his characters seek to leave. He was born on April 24, 1991. Other than writing, he enjoys reading, painting, acting, and singing. He hopes to pursue his yet unachieved love for travel, and hopes to travel through Europe and actually see for himself all of the lovely places he describes.
Mark is just beginning to ty his hand at the nonfiction genre with an in-depth look at the history of the clans of Scotland. He has written a significant amount of poetry based on life experiences as well as historical, mythological, and politically-motivated poems, and is in the process of trying to get his poems published.
Though often called insane or twisted for his technique and content in fiction, Mark is undeterred in pursuit of a new and radical style, and, as he often says,
"If you hate my writing, don't blame me, blame my mind. My mind and I work independently of each other, so only one of us is usually in trouble at one given time."
